View into an ant nest with cocoons and workers. Lasius alienus, or cornfield ant, is a species of ant in the subfamily Formicinae (family Formicidae). Workers have a length of about 2?4 mm, Queens are larger (7?9 mm). Lasius colonies can reach in size up to around 4,000?7,000 workers . A Lasius queen can live up to 15 years and it has been claimed that some have lived for 30 years. Lasius queens in the early stages of founding can have two to three other queens in the nest. They will tolerate each other until the first workers come, then it is most likely they will fight until one queen remains. In certain circumstances, it is possible that there can be multiple queens in a single colony if they are founding somewhat near each other and eventually their two tunnels connect. Under laboratory conditions, workers can live at least 4 years.
